Lexden Park House

Location: Lexden Road, Colchester, Essex

Date: 1994

Originally built in the 1800s as a private house, with
spectacular grounds including a large ornamental lake. After being
hugely extended Lexden Park House became a private school before
becoming part of Colchester's Technical College. Following a long
period of vandalism and a severe outbreak of dry rot, it was
converted into five, very large apartments including one that is
over 3000 sq feet that occupies the entire ground floor which
allowed the principal rooms to be restored and preserved without
subdivision.
